The thin layer of sweat soaked through Sean’s shirt. He had not yet completely lost his reason and patiently unbuttoned the clothes of the person beneath him, with beads of sweat hanging at the tip of his nose, adding an extra layer of sensuality and allure.
The vampire beneath him continued to twist and turn with his eyes closed. What Sean didn’t know was that Wei Xicheng already felt as though the blood inside him was about to evaporate, and his body, from the inside out, felt as though it was being scorched by fire. His throat was dry, and he was unbearably restless.
Before Shawn could undo the last button, the person who should have been lying with his eyes closed suddenly lunged forward, throwing him onto the bed.
Seann’s face darkened, and he was about to subdue the person, but unexpectedly, the person leaned down and licked the tip of his nose, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Only then did Sean relax. The next moment, a tingling sensation spread across his neck.
The tingle, starting from the skin on his neck where it had been bitten, spread throughout his body, and his soul felt as though it was being tossed high into the air and then landing on a soft cloud.
Sean immediately felt his ability to move slip away. He tried to keep his eyes open, but all he could see was a head of black hair, with a few strands falling onto his face.
“Samuel.” Sean reached out and grabbed Wei Xicheng’s shoulder, calling softly to this bold vampire.
“Don’t move…” Wei Xicheng’s sharp fangs were still embedded in Sean’s skin. His words were unclear, but there was a hint of coquettishness in his voice.
Wei Xicheng’s fingers dug into Sean’s head, his fingers running through the prickly short hair, feeling exceptionally comfortable. He couldn’t stop himself from slightly trembling, finding satisfaction in the overwhelming pleasure.
Wei Xicheng flipped over from Sean’s body and lay down beside him, staring at the ceiling to clear his mind and calm the intense rise and fall of his chest.
A shadow appeared in front of him, and Wei Xicheng looked up to see Sean’s enlarged face, which was now smiling harmlessly.
“Hey, Sean.”
Sean stared at him blankly before a smile appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he’d seen this expression from him. He didn’t ask why the vampire’s attitude toward him had suddenly changed. Instead, he gently wiped away the blood at the corner of the vampire’s mouth and placed his fingers in his own mouth.
“Does it taste good?”
When he asked, “Do you know what you’re doing?”, the fact that the vampire called his name was enough.
Afterward, Wei Xicheng, in the midst of a moment of clarity, felt a bit unsettled. All these years, he had been too foolish to realize Sean was the person he had been searching for. Now, he had foolishly stirred the fire.
He nodded, his gaze sincere.
“It tastes good.”
“Do you want more?”
“……”
Since discovering that Sean was the person he had been looking for, Wei Xicheng no longer thought about leaving. Instead, he settled down, taking on the role of the master.
Yes, his attitude toward his lover was completely different from how he treated the child he had raised.
Reflecting on the absurd things that had happened recently, Wei Xicheng wished he could discard the ancient face he had worn for millennia. How could he still look at this “child” with affection and pity? It was impossible!
“Sean, can I know who your target is?”
Several days had passed since the adult ceremony, but Sean still lingered calmly at home, not rushing anywhere, even after making it clear he wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. Wei Xicheng couldn’t help but feel anxious for him.
Though this thought felt like a betrayal to his own clan, what did it matter? The vampire society wasn’t exactly harmonious either. Where there was power and profit, there would be conflict.
As long as he didn’t hurt his own allies, Wei Xicheng didn’t think there would be any vampires specifically coming after him. Even if his actions were somewhat unorthodox.
Perhaps he should be cautious about the reputation of the vampire duke? Before Wei Xicheng could fully think it through, Sean’s voice came from beside him:
“What target?”
Wei Xicheng coldly pushed Sean’s head away, disliking the smell of holy water on him.
“What do you think? The future Streicher Great Hunter?”
His raised tone acted like a hook, teasing at Sean’s fiery heart.
“Samuel, I never wanted to achieve the name of Streicher ,” Sean said as he half-squatted in front of Wei Xicheng, gently scooping a strand of hair and sniffing it. “I chose to become a hunter because I had no choice. I need to grow stronger, to become a man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Not forever a child, trailing behind you, only able to look up to you.”
Wei Xicheng swatted his hand away. “So when you asked me about Streicher in the carriage, you already had other plans?”
“I think so,” Sean said, unashamed and proud of himself. “I’ve always known what I wanted. And Samuel, my other plan was only you. You are the only thing I want.”
Wei Xicheng reached out and ruffled Sean’s hair, trying to hide his embarrassment. This world was truly… too cheesy.
He really felt powerless toward this person.
Sean was still half-squatting in front of Wei Xicheng, looking up at him with a gleam in his eyes. “So Samuel, do you want to eat?”
…Eat your head.
Wei Xicheng ignored the violent little lamb who thought that after tasting sweetness, spring had come, and stood up, picking up his cloak from the hanger and fastening it. “I’m going out.”
“Where are you going? I’ll come with you,” Shawn said as he reached for his weapon.
“No, Sean,” Wei Xicheng said, his tone uncharacteristically serious. “Stay at home.”
“Samuel…”
“Don’t give me that imploring look.” Wei Xicheng pushed the man, who was almost pressed up against him, away.
Before, because he needed to leave quickly, Sean would grow into a hunter even better than Jerome. After killing Jerome, there would be no trouble.
But now, the deaths of Mavis and Jerome had attracted the attention of the Hunter’s Guild. Though Jerome had been greedy for beauty, he was still a rare expert in the guild, and they took this matter very seriously.
A vampire who could easily kill Jerome must be incredibly strong, and they couldn’t afford to overlook it.
For the sake of their future stable life, Wei Xicheng needed to investigate the strength of the Sarro City Hunter’s Guild. If they discovered anything, not only would Queen Dolores have to pay a large sum to appease the irate hunters, but even his and Sean’s peaceful life would be disrupted.
As for not letting Sean get involved, Wei Xicheng had his own considerations. Although Sean said he didn’t want to become a blood hunter, the reason he became one in the first place was because he had chosen light and faith at birth.
Wei Xicheng didn’t care, but he still wanted to leave a way out for Sean. After all… no matter how he looked at it, having Sean directly clash with the Hunter’s Guild was not a good choice.
Sean grabbed Wei Xicheng’s wrist, and Wei Xicheng tried to pull it away, but couldn’t.
Here it came again, this irresistible strange strength.
“I know where you’re going. Samuel, I’ve already said it. The moment you called my name, neither you nor I can escape. So I won’t let you face any potential danger alone. Samuel, stop treating me like a child.”
As he spoke, there was a hint of sadness in Sean’s brown eyes, but his tone was firm with resolve.
Wei Xicheng stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then finally stopped trying to pull his wrist away.
“Sean, even if you don’t want to be a hunter, you already are.”
Wei Xicheng had never planned to stop Sean from becoming a hunter, nor had he ever thought of refusing to be with him because of Sean’s identity.
“Samuel, this… “ Sean interrupted Wei Xicheng’s words, releasing his hand and apologizing first. “Sorry. I couldn’t choose my birth. You can assimilate me.”
Wei Xicheng felt a bit of a headache. Why did this person always interrupt before he finished speaking? Assimilate me? What a deadly affair. After assimilation, he would only be a subordinate. How could they be lovers?
“I wanted to ask you, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? On this land?”
“Marry you.”
To hell with you.
Wei Xicheng wiped his face, suppressing the urge to punch him.
“Then let’s leave here,” Wei Xicheng grabbed Sean’s hand as he tried to pull it away.
“Alright.”
“Don’t you want to ask where?”
“Where?”
“…”
“The place you originally wanted to go?”
“Yes.”
…
By the time the Hunter’s Guild found this place, it was already empty.
They were more regretful about the fall of a pureblood hunter. They didn’t pay much attention to the departure of a pureblood vampire because none of them had the ability to defeat a pureblood at their peak. Moreover, this pureblood might have gained further strength after consuming the blood of a pureblood hunter.
A few days later, two distant visitors arrived in the far Eastern continent.
These two visitors, both in appearance and attire, seemed extremely out of place, contrasting sharply with the customs and culture of this land.
Sean, carrying two large trunks, followed Wei Xicheng as he conversed fluently with several local merchants in a foreign language. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of distance from the man in front of him.
This feeling of distance couldn’t be bridged by physical proximity.
He lowered his eyes, carefully listening to Wei Xicheng speak.
Wei Xicheng stopped talking and tugged at Sean, who had clearly been lost in thought, pulling him toward the agreed-upon resting place. He had already planned to contract a few servants along the way, even if it meant hiring them with money. But this person refused, saying something like “one is enough” for him.
Helpless.
In a large mansion.
“Samuel, can I sleep here tonight? Have you been here before?” Sean asked casually while tidying the bed.
“Mm.”
